After 44 years as Southington's town manager, it would be uncivil to begrudge John Weichsel a deal which pays his supplemental insurance in retirement for life. His record is indeed exceptional, as those in other communities have observed as well, but even so, that exceptionality can create problems.
The proposal to give Wallingford town planning office a limited power to issue citations for violations such as signs and storage – violations easily remedied and just as easily repeated, makes much sense as a means of demonstrating that the zoning laws are to be taken seriously. A similar case may or may not exist for such powers for Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Commission, and a decision on both suggestions will have to wait.
It’s presumptuous of any donor in Connecticut, no matter how generous, to assume that because of a gift, that donor would get to make decisions in the activities of the donee. Thus, however, Robert Burton of Greenwich and his $3 million gift to the UConn football program and his request his money be returned after the school, he alleges, failed to include him in the loop when hiring a new coach.
